Susan

About me:

I am originally from Alexandria, Virginia. I just completed my Master of Divinity, and currently not affiliated with any denomination. The early years of my adult life were spent teaching English and history, and raising my son, Bryan. In 1995, Bryan and I moved to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I began to set aside my harried pace and ponder what was truly meaningful beyond raising my son, who until then I had referred to as the only “masters degree” I would ever need! I returned to my writing, my music, and my art over the next several years never imagining that at the tender age of fifty-three I would enter seminary. God truly works in mysterious ways. The Drew community has helped me discover my passion: addressing the issues that face women and children who are victims of domestic violence, abuse, and poverty. I believe my ministry will include my love of the arts as healing and therapeutic, my passion for speaking and preaching as a liaison between communities of faith and private organizations, and my experience as an educator in developing informational and educational programs. I consider my time of study at Drew to be a freely given gift and I work to freely pass the blessings I receive to others. ..
